Sporting relatives:

Her mother Christine Liegeois won a silver medal in the lightweight women's double sculls at the 1988 World Lightweight Championships in Milan, Italy. Her father Vincent took part in rowing competitions at national level and later became a rowing coach. Her brother Ivan is also a rower who has represented France internationally, including at the U23 world championships and at World Cup level. (SportsDeskOnline, 30 Dec 2019; gpseo.fr, 01 Apr 2019)

She began rowing in 2011. (ffaviron.fr, 01 Sep 2019)

Despite coming from a family with a rowing tradition she practised equestrian, dancing and triathlon. She was then encouraged to take up rowing by a friend. "At the beginning I didn't even want to listen. I was doing triathlon while my best friend practised rowing. She suggested I should try it and I accepted with the only condition that she should try triathlon with me. In the end I fell into it." (echosdemeulan.fr, 09 Nov 2019; gpseo.fr, 01 Apr 2019 )

To win gold at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, and to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. (echosdemeulan.fr, 09 Nov 2019)

She does between 10 and 12 sessions per week at the national training hub in Lyon, France. On weekends she commutes to Montalet-le-Bois to train with her club. (echosdemeulan.fr, 09 Nov 2019; gpseo.fr, 01 Apr 2019)

FATIGUE
She missed the 2018 European Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, and the 2018 World Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, due to fatigue. "I was a victim of overtraining and became very fatigued. I started rowing again at the end of the year [2018]. I am now more vigilant in my preparations and more motivated than ever." (gpseo.fr, 01 Apr 2019)

PARTNERSHIP
In 2017 she began competing in the French women's lightweight double sculls boat alongside Laura Tarantola. "We have formed a complementary partnership. We understand each other well on the water, and off the water we have a real friendship." (lequipe.fr, 02 Jun 2019; gpseo.fr, 01 Apr 2019)

HORSE PASSION
She enjoys riding horses. "I have retained a big passion for equestrian sports. I loved the time I spent riding along the beaches of Brittany [France]. I forget everything when I am doing those long rides on the sand. Sadly, now I do not have enough time but I will catch up once I stop rowing. In the future I want to establish my own physiotherapy office, and buy a horse." (echosdemeulan.fr, 09 Nov 2019)
